bird flu

[rdfreak]

I am currently watching 60 minutes, and the first story was about Bird flu, and how it's so close to home now - in asia and all that, which is like next-door to us! It's really scarey stuff! I mean they did this ficticious report where they said that thousands are dying and there is so much more crime in Sydney because half of the cops have been killed. and then they said, though it was all fiction, it is certainly no fantasy and that's how they predict it could be.
they reckon if it came here, it could kill 2 million or so, and the world wouldn't be the same.
and they were also talking about how pigs in Asia had got this disease which spread to humans from flying fox's droppings, from mangos.
man it's all so scarey! they're saying if an outbreak of birdflu happened here, we'd be better off isolating ourselves; not going into public. that's scarey! I mean it's unavoidable these days if we wanna eat and stuff! *brrr man as if we haven't constantly got more to worry about!

teehee.

yeah, neighbours and Dr Phil, youre probably better off :p
I've stopped watching the news [well, TV, too.] and reading the newspaper on a regular basis [i read one about once a month ... if that.] my brain and well being had thanked me for it. *shrug* that method of isolation may not work for everyone, though!

yeah. well most of the time I don't actually keep up to date with news and current events, and it use to get me in a bit of trouble at school, but what do people expect? we should have the right! anyway it is certainly far less depressing.
